High Dynamic Range Microwave Tuner Designed and in Production

We haven't posted in a while. It's because we've been crazy busy.
Our newest product, the RCT0017 WB Tuner and Quad Converter, has
been under development over the past 2 years, and is now
available. We've designed this from the ground up to meet state of
the art high input compression point, low phase noise, fast tuning
speed, wide dynamic range, and wide instantaneous bandwidth
requirements. A quick overview of the specifications:

This is a very complex design with very high density surface mount
assemblies. Surface mount assemblies are built using pick and
place machines at a contract manufacturer. Automated RF test rack,
fixtures and software has been designed at R. A. Wood Associates.
